You need to remember where you have been.
You need to remember where you are.
You don't need to know where you are going.
You don't need to know where you will end up.
Recognize the familiar.
Take advantage of the unknown.

Scattered Memories

I am reaching deep for words–for a train of thought–for the
perfect thing to say–except I can’t find it. All I can say is that I will
always remember. I will remember sitting in the sun, taking in the summer sea
breeze, and eating a grilled Panini at Heather’s Café. I will remember when I was little, catching
your eye, shyly waving as I made my way through stacks of books, dodging
authors and shuffling through the crowd. I will remember dressing up and coming
to your art show, taking in the vast detail of tiny cities and intricate
features that made your gourds unique and beautiful–one of a kind. I will
remember your enthusiasm, your character, your grace. I will think of all the
support and guidance that you gave along the way, your encouragement, and most
of all your friendship. Sharing stories, sharing food, sharing art will be just
a few of the many things that I will miss. And no matter how long I stay in New
York City, I will always have your apple to remind me of this chapter, to
remind me of the true meaning of beauty and craftsmanship, and to remind me of
you.
